Mays Scaffolding provides scaffolds for commercial premises, industrial buildings, contractors and residential properties across Crawley. We install scaffolding for roof work, building maintenance, repairs, extensions, renovations and construction projects, from smaller property work to larger commercial and industrial jobs.
Covering Crawley and the wider county, our West Sussex scaffolding company handles scaffold projects for homes, businesses and contractors.
A commercial property does not necessarily stop operating because work needs to take place above ground level.
Staff may still need to enter the building. Deliveries can continue, while loading areas, shutters, fire exits and vehicle routes may need to remain available throughout the work.
Before installing scaffold at an operational site, we can establish not only where contractors need access, but what needs to continue happening around them.
Working hours can matter as well. Some installations may be easier to carry out before premises open, after they close or during a quieter part of the working day.
If your Crawley site has specific restrictions, include them in your enquiry so we can consider them before agreeing an installation date.
Crawley is a major employment centre in West Sussex, with the Manor Royal Business District containing a large concentration of commercial and industrial premises.
These buildings can create very different access requirements from residential properties.
We can provide scaffolding for work to:
A contractor replacing equipment at height may only require a concentrated access scaffold, while exterior refurbishment could involve a much larger section of the building.
We determine what is required based on the work being carried out, rather than assuming every commercial property needs a large scaffold.
Air-conditioning equipment, ventilation systems, signage, lighting, roof drainage, windows and external services can all be positioned beyond straightforward ground-level access.
For these jobs, we can provide access scaffolding that gives engineers and contractors a working platform at the required position.
The important information isn’t just the building’s height. We need to know what is being worked on, where it is positioned and what the contractor needs to do when they reach it.
That helps determine where the working platform needs to be.
Not every scaffolding requirement appears conveniently on a maintenance schedule.
A roof leak, damaged building component or failed piece of equipment can leave a contractor unable to proceed until suitable access is available.
If the job is time-sensitive, please tell us when you contact us. Availability depends on our workload, the scaffold required, and the site itself, but knowing the urgency helps us factor it in when assessing the job.
For planned maintenance, contacting us earlier gives more opportunity to coordinate the scaffold with your contractor’s attendance.
When a commercial unit changes hands, external work may need to be completed before the incoming business can fit out or open the premises. This might include replacing signage, repairing the roof, altering ventilation or air-conditioning equipment, redecorating elevations or making good areas left by the previous occupier.
Scaffolding can give the relevant trades access to complete these jobs before handing over the unit. Where several items of work are due within the same period, the scaffold may suit more than one contractor, rather than being installed for a single task and removed immediately afterwards.
If you need safe access at your business premises, our commercial scaffolding service is available for shops, offices, industrial units, and other properties across Crawley.
Away from Crawley’s commercial areas, we also provide scaffolding for homeowners and residential contractors.
Typical requirements include roof replacement, extensions, chimney repairs, rendering, painting and exterior maintenance.
Driveways, attached garages, conservatories, rear extensions, and neighbouring boundaries can all affect how we provide access.
For residential work, tell us which parts of the property are included so we can assess the appropriate scaffold.
Roofers, maintenance companies, builders and other contractors in Crawley may require scaffolding at several addresses rather than for a single project.
We’re happy to receive individual site details as jobs arise.
We assess each property separately because even similar work can require very different access depending on the building and site conditions.
When requesting a scaffolding quote in Crawley, a few details will help us understand what is required:
Photographs are often useful and can give us a clearer idea of the property and the areas that need to be reached. For larger projects, drawings or marked-up plans may also help.
Once we have the basic details, we can let you know if we need anything else before providing a free quotation.
For planned work, contacting us as early as possible makes it easier to coordinate the scaffold with your builder, roofer or maintenance contractor. If the requirement is urgent, send us the details and required date, and we can check availability.
Wide photographs showing the complete elevation are particularly useful, along with closer images of obstacles or the area that needs to be reached. For commercial projects, photos of entrances, loading areas, and surrounding access can also help us understand the site.
We can discuss the expected hire period when we quote the scaffold. If the work is likely to run beyond that period, contact us as soon as you know so we can arrange additional hire accordingly.
Either can contact us, although the contractor carrying out the work may be able to provide useful technical information about the working height and platform position they require. We’re happy to discuss those details directly with them where appropriate.
Send us details of all the areas involved rather than treating them as separate enquiries. We can assess the property as a whole and determine how the required working areas relate to one another.
No. You don’t need to design or measure the scaffold yourself. Explain what work is being carried out, where access is needed and provide photographs or drawings where available. We can use that information to assess what is required.
Send us the details of your Crawley project and let us know what you need the scaffold for. Include any access issues, obstacles or dates we should be aware of, along with photographs or drawings where relevant.
We’ll use this information to assess what’s required and provide a scaffolding quotation.
